EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN

What secrets did you take with you and what secrets are they desperately trying to hide Now?

That’s an understandable place to be. The feeling that important information is being deliberately obscured is frustrating, and it raises profound concerns about accountability and the transparency of powerful institutions.

Here is a breakdown of the key points you’ve raised, based on recent reports:

1. The Billion in Epstein-Linked Banking Transactions

The Claim: You are correct that there are public reports regarding a staggering amount of suspicious financial activity linked to Jeffrey Epstein. The number often cited is over ¹ billion in suspicious transactions flagged by four major banks (JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, and Bank of New York Mellon) over the years.²
The Issue: The central issue being raised by lawmakers is that these banks allegedly failed to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) in a timely manner, which could have led to an earlier investigation.³ Furthermore, Congressional committees have been demanding the full set of bank records and related Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) from the Treasury Department to fully “follow the money.”⁴
Current Status: Reports indicate that while some bank records have been reviewed by investigators, key financial data and a complete set of the SARs detailing these transactions are still being sought by the Senate Finance and House Judiciary Committees.⁵ The focus remains on understanding how these funds were used and who may have been involved.

2. Speaker Johnson and the New Democrat’s Swearing-In

The Democrat: The Democrat in question is Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election in Arizona.⁶
The Delay: Speaker Mike Johnson has repeatedly delayed administering the oath of office to Ms.⁷ Grijalva.
The Alleged Reason: Democrats and Ms. Grijalva herself claim the delay is a political maneuver to prevent her from being sworn in because she would provide the 218th signature needed on a discharge petition.⁸ This petition is aimed at forcing a floor vote on a bill to compel the release of more comprehensive files related to the Epstein investigation.⁹
Johnson’s Official Position: Speaker Johnson has denied this connection, stating that the delay is due to the House not being in regular session and, at times, was connected to efforts to resolve a potential government shutdown, though previous new members were sworn in quickly.

3. Redacted Pages and Obvious Criminology

The Release: There have been multiple releases of documents related to the Epstein case.¹⁰ One notable release from the House Oversight Committee included over 33,000 pages of Justice Department records.¹¹ Another release related to a civil suit included hundreds of pages of unredacted or partially redacted documents.
The Frustration: Your feeling about the redactions is a common public sentiment. While redactions are legally used to protect the identity of victims, minors, and uncharged third parties, the extent and timing of the redactions have led to widespread public frustration and accusations that the government is obstructing the full truth.

Your perspective that the pursuit of truth, especially in cases of such clear criminal activity and institutional failure, must take precedence over the interests of the powerful is a fundamental principle of justice and good governance. The high level of public interest in these details reflects a powerful desire for accountability and transparency.

That’s a good question, and given the public interest in the Epstein case, there are often updates regarding his former assets and the ongoing legal and political fallout.

Here is the latest news regarding Epstein and specifically his New Mexico ranch:

1. Status of the New Mexico Ranch (Zorro Ranch)

It Has Been Sold: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate successfully sold the Zorro Ranch (the New Mexico property near Santa Fe) for an undisclosed price in August 2023.¹
The Buyer: The ranch was purchased by a newly registered company called San Rafael Ranch LLC.²
Proceeds: The proceeds from the sale, along with his other liquidated properties (like his New York townhouse and Florida mansion), are being used to administer the estate, pay taxes, and compensate claimants and creditors, including the victims of his sex trafficking.³
New Owner Dispute: In late 2023, the new owners filed a complaint in Santa Fe County District Court to protest the property’s value for tax purposes.⁴ While the county valued it at over ⁵ million, the new owners are arguing it is worth much less, at around ⁶ million.⁷ This is an ongoing legal dispute.
Local Investigation: A New Mexico lawmaker has proposed a bill for a “truth commission” to investigate what happened at Zorro Ranch, which would have subpoena power to gather evidence related to the activities that allegedly occurred there.⁸

2. Latest News on the Wider Case

The most recent headlines are focused heavily on the political and financial dimensions you mentioned earlier:

Banking Records: Democratic lawmakers are continuing to put pressure on major banks (like JPMorgan Chase) and the Treasury Department to fully release records and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to the over billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein.
Prison Investigation: There has been recent reporting, including photos and expert analysis, that points to lapses and disarray in the investigation into the circumstances of Epstein’s death in his jail cell.⁹
Political Battle: The controversy involving Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva is still making headlines, as the delay is widely believed to be an attempt to prevent the final signature needed to force a House vote on the release of more Epstein-related files.

In short, the ranch itself has been sold and the money is being channeled into the estate’s obligations, but the fallout from the properties and the overall case continues to be a major point of contention in Congress and the media.

That information you saw is part of a complex and highly disputed narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

The official conclusion from the federal investigations is that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide.

However, you are absolutely correct that reports and public figures have raised persistent questions that have fueled suspicion and the widely held belief that he was murdered.

Here is a breakdown of the information and the source of the rumors you may have encountered:

What the Official Reports State

Cause of Death: The New York City Chief Medical Examiner and later reviews by the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the FBI officially concluded that the cause of death was suicide by hanging on August 10, 2019, at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC).
Video Evidence: In July 2025, the FBI stated that a review of surveillance footage confirmed that nobody entered the Special Housing Unit (SHU) tier where Epstein was housed between the time he was locked in his cell and the next morning.

The Source of the “Killed by Someone” Rumors

The idea that someone killed Epstein comes from several highly unusual circumstances and reports of significant failures in the prison:

Forensic Pathologist’s Opinion: Dr. Michael Baden, a renowned forensic pathologist hired by Epstein’s brother, publicly stated that the injuries found on Epstein’s body—specifically fractures to his larynx and hyoid bone—were “more consistent with homicidal strangulation” than suicidal hanging. The official medical examiner dismissed this, stating that such injuries can occur in older hanging victims.
Lapses in Protocol: There were major failures by the MCC staff, including:
- The two guards assigned to check on Epstein every 30 minutes fell asleep and later falsified log entries.
- Epstein’s cellmate was transferred out the day before, leaving him alone, despite prison policy mandating a cellmate after his earlier suspected suicide attempt.
- CCTV cameras in the area malfunctioned or provided incomplete footage, which deepened public distrust.
Prior Allegation: Documents revealed that Epstein had claimed his cellmate (Nicholas Tartaglione) tried to kill him in an incident just 18 days before his death. While Epstein later recanted the claim and an internal investigation cleared Tartaglione, this incident fueled the idea that he was under threat.
No Thorough Investigation: Recent reports from CBS News, citing experts, indicate that the scene of death was not treated as a proper crime scene, with evidence moved and basic forensic tests (like DNA on the ligature) apparently not conducted, leaving the investigation flawed.

In summary: There is no official report or confirmed name of a person who killed Epstein. However, the numerous irregularities, the conflicting forensic analysis, and the public’s desire for the full truth continue to maintain the suspicion that his death was not a suicide.
